Today for the first time EVER, I clocked in to a $55,000 delinquency this morning and had a total freak out lol. Worked my butt off all day and collected $40,000 of it. Ended the day with a migraine. Omg!!!

Go Sista from another Mista!!! Woo-hoo

I’m so jealous. Due to NC law I’m not allowed to send anything out until the 6th.

Dialing for Dollars

Exactly....texting for dollars, kicking in doors for dollars lol.....

Good job, it was tough for us too!!

I wish that was mine, today it was $78K

That's awesome!!!

Did you chg/collect late fees?

If you’ve figure out the magic secret to getting blood from stones, please share!!

Help them get the rental assistance that IS out there. My team has focused on identifying resources and counseling residents to them. Anyone who qualifies for a moratorium is qualified for assistance.

92k here

It’s the Monday after the holiday I’m guessing 95% of that would have come in naturally without any effort expended at all.

No effort? Really? You should have been in my office today! Lol

Today was a super hard day for me too. Mine was $152k LOL

Do you have a specific form or verbiage you’re using that may help us?

Truthfully... I have a good relationship with them. I constantly talk to them . Even if they have given a date to pay, I do not wait for that day. I constantly contact them (I am out on the property a lot). I use different excuses to converse with them and mention the payment during the convo. My residents know that it is in the forefront of my thoughts 24/7 and it ain’t going away. I had a resident state today that he is going to move out because he lost his job. Rather than deal with having to talk to me about it daily, he would rather move. Then he doesn’t have to be reminded constantly. I am glad he is moving. I can literally re rent the unit in a day because I have 5 people on a waitlist. Mind you...this is someone that usually pays. Lost his job and owes January only. Doesn’t want the rent to pile up on him. So you see, even if people intended to pay and it was the 4th after a holiday, I don’t sit around and wait for them to pay when they feel like it. I go out and get it by holding them accountable. So it literally took me all day yesterday and again today. Collected another few thousand today and have committed dates for the remaining residents. So now I will spend the next 2 weeks following up with them daily. Whatever it takes!!!

Great job!!

Any updates on your collections today Sherry?

Started at $55,000 yesterday and down to $13,000 today. $6,000 is one resident. But he just got a new job at$35 an hour and found out yesterday that he won his appeal with unemployment so as soon as his checks get here he is paying up. He is up for renewal and wants to renew. He doesn’t want to move. So it’s a pretty safe bet. But do you see what I mean? I know the details. Why? Because I make them talk to me every day!!!

Right on! That was a huge success win!

I read your answer a few lines down. Great job again. They are lucky to have you.

Email rent reminder on the 4th and text everyone still owing on the 5th. Late on the 6th. Zero lates.
